Here’s How Lebanese Twitter Reacted To The Brangelina Split
As if 2016 wasn’t apocalyptic enough already, Angelina Jolie decided to file for divorce from Brad Pitt Friday, spurring a universal Internet meltdown over the sudden dissolution of Hollywood’s greatest couple. Lebanese Twitter seemed enormously concerned too, with reactions ranging from somewhat troubled to shatteringly devastated.
The disappointment was real.
Real on SO MANY LEVELS.
Well, maybe just a few more levels than needed.
Decade-defining revelations followed.
And age-old misconceptions began to unfold.
Mixed with the usual dash of end-of-world conspiracies.
And eventually, the night was not void of heartfelt political statements.
Some people were quick to jump to conclusions.
While others were trying to offer viable solutions.
Including our very own Adeela, who reportedly interrupted her world tour in an attempt to mediate some sort of reconciliation.
Meanwhile, someone seemed to be having their own little party.
Which suddenly evolved into a not-so-little party.
Until someone ultimately decided to confiscate all the snacks and call off the party for good.
The disappointment was real.
I honestly thought Brangelina would last. All is lost.

The only thing that’s bothering me about this “news” is that I’ve always thought it was pronounced Bradgelina. Oops. #Brangelina

Having Jennifer Anniston trending because of Angelina and Brad divorce is like Madrid fans mentioning Messi failures when they win.

Jennifer Aniston is probably too busy being happily married y’all so petty.
